Video data of a plurality of different formats is mixedly recorded onto one disc-shaped recording medium so that they can be continuously reproduced. The position is determined on the basis of a value relating to light that is reflected by the object. Providing one or more semiconductor dice in the connector allows degradation from high-speeds transmission line paths along a printed circuit be segmented and corrected at the site of these integrated electrical connectors before being retransmitted to the next circuit board or device along the signal path. Preferably, the thermostat is actuated depending only on the temperature of coolant passing through the throttle body. In another embodiment of the invention, the color coordinate data is encoded as a color index, a binary value which maps to color coordinate data according to a predefined color table.
